The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday said the former Chairman of the Pension Reform Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina’s bail request is to evade arrest and flee to the United States of America.
The Commission in a fresh court document said Maina wanted to flee to the US where he and his family are equally citizens.
It said, “After jumping court bail, Maina sneaked to the Niger Republic to obtain new travel documents at the US Embassy in Niamey to enable him flee back to the US where he and his family are equally citizens.”

A former chairman of the defunct Pension Reformed Task Team, Abdulrasheed Maina, has said he has no case to answer.
The Economic and Financial Crimes Commission on Wednesday closed its case after the ninth prosecution witness concluded her testimony in the N2bn money laundering trial of Maina at the Federal High Court in Abuja.
Maina’s lawyer, Anayo Adibe, said his client, in the belief that the EFCC failed to make a prima facie case warranting him to put up a defence, would file a no-case submission for the dismissal of the charges.
